I'm having chest pain that's really concerning me. When I press the center of my chest with my finger, it hurts, and sometimes I feel pain on the left and right sides too, but other times there's no pain at all. Even when I cough, it's like the pain flares up in my chest. Lately, I've also been experiencing some back pain. I have had diabetes for the past 10 years and have been on Novamix 30 insulin. Could you suggest any medication or remedies for relief?

My dad had an angioplasty on the 14th of last month, and now hes been dealing with a persistent cough. We've already seen our regular physician, but it hasn't improved. He's on Ramistar, Rampril, and has a reduced left ventricular function with an EF of 44. Should we be worried about this cough not getting better? Could it be related to his heart medications, or is something else going on? I'm looking for advice on what we should do next.
Ramipril can sometimes cause cough as a side effect. If it is too severe, then the medication may need to be replaced with another anti-hypertensive. It is best to consult your regular cardiologist before making any changes to your regular medication.
